Psalm 8

⁹O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth!

²Blessed be the name of the Lord both now and forevermore.

³From where the sun rises to where it sets, the name of the Lord is praised.

⁵Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; may Your glory cover all the earth.

¹³Let them praise the name of the Lord, for His name alone is exalted; His splendor is above the earth and the heavens.

¹¹Who among the gods is like You, O Lord? Who is like You—majestic in holiness, revered with praises, performing wonders?

¹⁰For Your loving devotion reaches to the heavens, and Your faithfulness to the clouds.

¹¹Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; may Your glory cover all the earth.

¹⁶“Do You hear what these children are saying?” they asked. “Yes,” Jesus answered. “Have you never read: ‘From the mouths of children and infants You have ordained praise’?”

⁹But He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is perfected in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly in my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest on me.

¹⁰That is why, for the sake of Christ, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

³¹But those who wait upon the Lord will renew their strength; they will mount up with wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not faint.

¹⁰“Be still and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted over the earth.”

²⁷But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.

²⁵At that time Jesus declared, “I praise You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because You have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children.

¹In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

⁶By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, and all the stars by the breath of His mouth.

¹⁹He made the moon to mark the seasons; the sun knows when to set.

¹¹The heavens are Yours, and also the earth. The earth and its fullness You founded.

²Great are the works of the Lord; they are pondered by all who delight in them.

²⁰For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood from His workmanship, so that men are without excuse.

¹⁷What is man that You should exalt him, that You should set Your heart upon him,

³O Lord, what is man, that You regard him, the son of man that You think of him?

⁶But somewhere it is testified in these words: “What is man that You are mindful of him, or the son of man that You care for him?

⁷You made him a little lower than the angels; You crowned him with glory and honor

³Put not your trust in princes, in mortal man, who cannot save.

⁶⁸“Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, because He has visited and redeemed His people.

¹⁷Let Your hand be upon the man at Your right hand, on the son of man You have raised up for Yourself.

⁷You made him a little lower than the angels; You crowned him with glory and honor

⁹But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, now crowned with glory and honor because He suffered death, so that by the grace of God He might taste death for everyone.

²⁶Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, after Our likeness, to rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, and over all the earth itself and every creature that crawls upon it.”

²⁷So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.

¹⁶For surely it is not the angels He helps, but the descendants of Abraham.

⁷but emptied Himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in human likeness.

⁸And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to death—even death on a cross.

²¹far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in the present age but also in the one to come.

²⁸God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it; rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and every creature that crawls upon the earth.”

²⁶Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, after Our likeness, to rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, and over all the earth itself and every creature that crawls upon it.”

¹⁸Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me.

⁸and placed everything under his feet.” When God subjected all things to him, He left nothing outside of his control. Yet at present we do not see everything subject to him.

²²And God put everything under His feet and made Him head over everything for the church,

²The fear and dread of you will fall on every living creature on the earth, every bird of the air, every creature that crawls on the ground, and all the fish of the sea. They are delivered into your hand.

²⁰The man gave names to all the livestock, to the birds of the air, and to every beast of the field. But for Adam no suitable helper was found.

²⁰And God said, “Let the waters teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the open expanse of the sky.”

²¹So God created the great sea creatures and every living thing that moves, with which the waters teemed according to their kinds, and every winged bird after its kind. And God saw that it was good.

¹⁰wild animals and all cattle, crawling creatures and flying birds,

³⁹Can you hunt the prey for a lioness or satisfy the hunger of young lions

¹For the choirmaster. According to Gittith. A Psalm of David. O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth! You have set Your glory above the heavens.

²⁴How many are Your works, O Lord! In wisdom You have made them all; the earth is full of Your creatures.

⁷Can you fathom the deep things of God or discover the limits of the Almighty?

²⁶“There is none like the God of Jeshurun, who rides the heavens to your aid, and the clouds in His majesty.
